Question 1
Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows.
How can people be sure that they are truly marrying people with whom they are truly compatible? One way is by taking time to get to know the other person. Researchers have found that couples seem to go through three stages in this process. First, each person tries to measure his or her good and bad qualities against those of the other person. People tend to be drawn to others who seem to have about the assets and liabilities they themselves possess. Second, people look for compatible beliefs, attitudes and interests to support the initial attraction. It is not until the third stage that people reveal to each other how they handle responsibilities, react to disappointments and cope with a wide variety of situations. The key to compatibility is for the couple to be sure that they have arrived at this last stage before they think about marriage. Such people are less likely to be unpleasantly surprised than those who seriously marry quickly.
